One could say TOBE HOOPER'S FILM CAREER,. But fair is fair, there is nothing that spooky about the fact they are gone, most of them were up there in age except of course the tragic death of the young girl.

I have similarly eerie feelings about Star Trek 2 and Star Trek 3. Most of the actors are dead. Many died rather young. Sorry if I've gone OT.

Solium, who is dead from Star Trek 2 and 3?

I can only think of Khaaaaan! Plus Scotty and Bones, Paul Winfield and Majel Barrett, all of who were a fair age. And it has been around 30 years since those two films were made. Bibi Besch and Merritt Buttrick did die early granted.

But other than that most of them are still standing I think-Shatner, Takei, Nicholls, Nimoy, plus Kirstie Alley, Robin Curtis (both Saaviks), Christopher Lloyd (Kruge) and John Larroquette, James B Sikking, Grace Lee Whitney being the better known actors.

You should look at the curse of the Carry Ons-most of the actors from that series of films met early and tragic deaths by alcoholism, suicide, heart attacks and various other tragedies!

Very few of those actors made old bones, although, again, a long time has passed since they were made, and a few of the actors are still with us, such as Jim Dale, Bernard Cribbens, Windsor Davies, Leslie Phillips and June Whitfield

But the Poltergeist curse IS quite creepy-Dunne was killed within days of the release of the first film-I only found this out many years later and was heartbroken as I had a crush on her as a kid.

I understand that the actor playing Rev Kane from Part 2 was already dying when he shot his stuff-he certainly looked terribly gaunt-the scene when he is stood at the door of the house, I've never been sure if the film makers superimposed a skull over his face or if it was just his face made up to look so terrifying.

Dunne was cast as Robin Maxwell in the miniseries V. She died during filming and her role was recast with actress Blair Tefkin. According to the DVD director's commentary by series creator Kenneth Johnson, Dunne appears in the scene in which the Maxwells and others watch the L.A. mother ship glide in on the day the Visitors first arrive. Her back is all that is seen. The miniseries is dedicated to her.

I often think about this with regard to Star Trek - The Motion Picture. About half the people in the main credits block we see on the poster or the soundtrack album or the novelization or whatever are gone - Gene Roddenberry, Deforest Kelley, James Doohan, Robert Wise, Jerry Goldsmith, Persis Khambatta... so many, now.

But it's not creepy or a curse when a film made in the late 70s or early 80s main cast has died off in THEIR 70s and 80s! I really don't think Star Trek can be considered odd at all.

It's a bit like saying there is a King Kong 1933 curse cos everybody from that had died now!

I was watching Naked Gun 2 and 1/2 last night and thought how many people from those movies are dead now-Leslie Nielsen, Ricardo Montalban, Robert Goulet, Kathlyn Freeman, Richard Griffiths, but again, they were all a fair age when they died.

Although there were the two tragic events surrounding OJ Simpson and Anna Nicole Smith to consider...

How the Poltergeist cast died and their ages was certainly a tragedy and a shock. I suppose because WOK is one of my favorite films, the losses of Merritt Butrick, Bibi Besch, and Paul Winfield are always on my mind when I watch the film.
